Epiphone Casino in Natural

The Epiphone Casino in Natural is one of those guitars you pick up and immediately understand why it’s a rock ’n’ roll staple. Fully hollow, featherweight, and loaded with that unmistakable chime and grit, it’s built to live right on the edge of clean and dirty—exactly where so many classic records were born.

Features

First introduced in 1961, the Casino quickly became Epiphone’s best-selling archtop and a go-to thinline hollowbody for players chasing lively resonance and touch-sensitive response. Designed and produced at the Kalamazoo, Michigan factory that Epiphone shared with Gibson, it carries that unmistakable vintage semi-hollow vibe with a fully hollow construction that feels alive under your hands.

This Natural-finished version keeps things classic and understated, letting the wood and the lines of the body do the talking. It’s part of Epiphone’s Original Collection, so the look and layout stay true to the iconic blueprint that found its way into the hands of some of rock’s most influential players.

From stage to studio, it’s the kind of guitar that responds to your picking hand more than your pedalboard—roll back the volume and tone and it sweetens up, dig in and it barks and snarls in a way only a hollow archtop can.

Tone

The Casino is all about airy, open tone with a woody core and plenty of harmonic sparkle. Clean, you get bright, chiming highs and a clear, vocal midrange that’s perfect for rhythm work, arpeggios, and jangly chord stabs. Push an amp and it moves into a raw, gritty breakup with a slightly spongy attack that makes riffs feel bigger than they are.

It’s responsive to every nuance—pick lighter and it stays sweet and articulate, lean in and it compresses and growls in a very musical way. That combination of hollowbody resonance and electric bite is what’s made the Casino a rock ’n’ roll legend for decades.
